The Constitutional Monarchies of Horikoru, more commonly known as Horikoru, is an small, humble nation comprised of 5 unified kingdoms on the southern tip of Abos. Huvakia is notable for its booming autmotive industry and untouched nature. Horikoru is known to be rather removed from international politics and tend to focus on more internal affairs.

The Horikoruan economy, worth 533 billion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Hemp products, Agricultural Exports, and Textiles. State-owned companies are somewhat common. Historically, crime was totally unknown, however a recent resurgence in crime has been noticed all around the nation. Horikoru's national animal is the Fox, which enjoys a prosperous life in the nations many forests, deserts, mountains, and grasslands.

In ancient times the lands that would become Horikoru consisted of five different kingdoms, each of which continuously fought with one another for centuries. Eventually as the kingdoms grew tired of fighting and threats from other nations and raiders, the five kingdoms united under the Shogunate Unification. The unification was more like a loose alliance than an actual unification. The Kingdoms had no support from one another unless it was militarily. Under the Shogunate Horikoru saw unrivaled expansion to the north, once bordering what is now Huvakia. However as infighting from the kingdom leaders grew, and the threats from beyond the border grew stronger, the five kingdoms were unable to hold their newly gained territory and eventually were pushed back to their original (current) border. With this embarrassing defeat, the Shogunate dissolved and the five kingdoms unified as one nation governed by a king (also known as Takaikage).
